India Hicks: Entertaining, with a Side of Chaos
Principal Photography by Brittan Goetz
AVAILABLE: September 08, 2026
With her trademark humor, Hicks leads readers through dinners that ignite debates by dessert, tiny tables for two, and her own wedding, highlighting along the way how even the simplest elements—a thoughtfully improvised tablescape, flowers foraged from the garden—can create something beautiful. With recipes, photos, and stories featuring her family and four-legged co-hosts, this book is a charming reminder that hosting isn’t about perfection—it’s about welcoming people in, even if you did not iron the tablecloth.
INTERIOR DESIGN BOOKS
Island Life
India walks the reader through the basics of achieving her famously undone, gloriously bohemian decorating style: the subtle palette of island life; the miracle of tablescaping; the warm anarchy of a family kitchen; the pleasure of porches; the drama of entertaining; bedrooms as places of self-expression; the "more is more" style of living with collections; the importance of repurposing; and creating spaces of sanctuary. Witty, richly prescriptive, beautifully photographed, this book will enchant readers with a glimpse of decorating in paradise.
A Slice of England
A stunning example of how India has reinterpreted English tradition and made it her own. She covers life upstairs and downstairs, on the grounds and in the surrounding country, including local pubs, circuses, and markets. Enriched with the witty and tender stories of India’s life growing up as British and design royalty, this is a book about the power of houses with family history, and the joy of adapting them for modern life.
An Entertaining Story
India is known for her irreverent to take on style. Here she presents her slightly mad cap spin on entertaining. The book begins marvelously with the most important meal of the day, cocktail hour, and ends with breakfast. In between there are family suppers, big dinners, birthday cakes and Christmas crackers, quick teas and long lunches and even a white Christmas in the Bahamas.
